What a weird, exciting, emotional journey from Amy Adams, et al. This is one of my favorites of the year. Amy Adams is superb, as always. It’s a low-budget, low-key parable. The production value won’t knock your socks off. But it’s ORIGINAL. It swings for the fences in its emotional aspirations and for that it deserves a bevy of scooby snacks. It’s been a down year for movies. A lot of lifeless misses. A lot of unmemorable, run-of-the-mill stuff. But in the middle of it all there’ve been several, edgy, risky movies about women and their identities, which has been a treat. This is one of those – a low-budget, indie feast for the intellectually hungry and emotionally primed.
